Jamaican Jerk Chicken Recipe

It is said that Jerk Chicken originates from the time the Maroons brought African techniques for cooking meat to Jamaica, which were then combined with native island seasoning and ingredients. The word “Jerk” may have its roots in “charqui,” a Spanish word for dry meat, or it may derive from “jerking,” or poking holes in the meat to hold spices before cooking.
